I consulted with Dr. Wesolowski for the color choices for this image. He created the model of the funeral train that is on display at the Lincoln Library. He was also instrumental in the colors for the funeral car that I did recently (see here) and was a consultant for the "Lincoln Funeral Train" project (see here), that team is using the "Leviathan" which carried the funeral car at different times along with the "Old Nashville".
To obtain the colors for this train Dr. Wesolowski shared reference photos showing closeups of the model that he made for the Lincoln Library. Without his help I would have ended up with completely different color choices.
It is amazing how much research can go into these things!
